Shiva generator, krita and metaball

One of the new thing of the upcoming 2.1 release for Krita (among improved stability) is that the OpenGTL library is now even more integrated, which makes it even easier to write cool filters or generators for Krita.

Today, I will speak about generators. Since Krita 2.0, there is a special kind of layers in Krita: generators, it’s like a normal layer, except that the pixel are generated automatically. In 2.0, the only generator available was a plain color generator. In 2.1, you can write your generator using the Shiva language.
